How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

Today I’m going to share how to make hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot. It is fast, easy and they peel better than any other method I’ve tried. I’m also going to share my favorite recipe for deviled eggs, just in time for Easter.

If you’ve ever tried to hard boil your farm fresh eggs the regular way, you know the cratered and messy half-egg you end up with in the end. In the spring, eggs are in abundance, but you still hate to waste most of the white when it sticks to the shells.

I absolutely love my Instant Pot for making bone broth, yogurt and whole chickens. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to get some whole eggs in there. Now that I’ve tried it, I am totally sold.

How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot Instructions

Place the steamer rack trivet that came with your Instant Pot in the bottom of the stainless steel pot.

Add as many eggs as you want. I have tried up to 14, but I’m sure you could do more!

Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot.

Set it to high pressure for 5 minutes.

Release the pressure.

Peel and Enjoy!

We currently have next to no cabinet space in our farmhouse kitchen. We plan to change that soon in our upcoming kitchen restoration, but for now they are stuffed full. I try to always put my Instant Pot away between uses, but I find myself dragging it back out of the pantry daily.

Between making whole chickens, broth and yogurt, it was already a staple, but now I’m going to do a batch of eggs a couple of times per week. They are the perfect protein packed snack, healthy, inexpensive and easy. What else could you ask for? I love when I have some made up in the fridge to take for lunch when we go our for a quick outing. Keeps us from spending $60 at a restaurant, and eating a bunch of junk. Five kids means you can’t go anywhere on the cheap!

Now for my favorite deviled eggs recipe

I love deviled eggs at Easter time, but as I was making these up, I wondered why we don’t have them all the time. They aren’t especially difficult to make, and I have never seen my kids devour the humble egg so fast.

I always have the same thought every year about turkey around November. It’s so good, why don’t we make cranberry sauce, turkey and mashed potatoes year round?!

To keep these deviled eggs healthy and simple, I used my homemade avocado oil mayo.
